Thompson Rivers University has announced that more women will have the opportunity to try out one of four skilled trades, as it is bringing the Women in Trades Exploratory Program to its Cariboo campus. In this program, women will have the opportunity to explore carpentry, heavy-duty mechanics, electrical, and welding trades; earn trades tickets; and prepare for either employment or further education. The university has also introduced a two-week mining component for participants interested in working in the mining sector. The program is tuition free, thanks to full funding from the Government of Canada.
